Every time Kellyanne lies she gets older looking.

It's weird when a guy from South Africa seems to understand U.S politics better then the people who job it is to

[@YogeshDeshpande]

Everybody understands U.S politics better than the people whose job it is to. That's why they need to be voted out.

[@gabemagana1013]

Comedic satire takes understanding from an outsider point of view. Also, Trevor knows a lot about government misdoings (him having grown up illegally during an apartheid)

[@Naroxas44]

Unfortunately Cabinet members are chosen and not directly voted in by the people, but I understand what you mean there :P.

[@hi-gf5yl]

[@itscris1973]

Paul S Actually Trevor's birth WAS a crime in South Africa because his mother was black and his father was white. His parents would've been arrested and he would've gone to foster care. He wrote a book about it and everything.

[@hollyb6885]

It's too frustrating watching Kellyanne being interviewed. It's like watching the interviewer try to nail jello to the wall.

[@uninterupptedwriter]

That's so accurate lol!

[@blessingjohnchelliah4317]

[@ArgoIo]

She's a professional troll. "u mad?"

[@swanbrown]

I don't get the impression that she's used to lying like that. For one, the lies themselves are RIDICULOUS. Add to that, she's got a set of tells that are just a step down from strapping a big red rotating light on the top of her head.

[@hollyb6885]

Swan electro: She should grow a moral compass and tell the king of crap (trump) that she won't lie anymore. He'd fire her and she could go write a book about the travesty that is the trump presidency

[@nespolo1597]

[@poltronafrau]

Paul S it would be so good if there were comedians propagating the other side, wouldn't it? Where are they?

[@urmomisurdad5422]

Benjamin Verheijden Infowars and other right winged youtube channels are all I can come up with.

[@nfzeta128]

OR, just throwing this out there. The Trump administration is just being an easy target. While the biggest offense the democratic side has committed is being fairly silent throughout most of this and while that's a pretty big offense its still overshadowed by all the other crap happening. The silent joke could probably be made once and after that it wouldn't be funny any more.

[@rouskeycarpel5097]

Paul S Trevor Noah threw some shade at Hillary when the email investigation came out. President Trump and has administration have been acting like class A buffoons ever since he was a candidate and thus are easy pickings for any comedian.

[@maxquinn6982]

On another note...Scott Baio is talking garbage about Mr. Noah..Why? Because Scott is envious, jealous, nobody...Because he can't be as famous and well liked as Mr. Noah. Then, Scott Baio will never be able to compare himself with Trevor. Mr. Noah is educated, knows the world, he is well traveled, well learned, he is a polyglot, he could fit in any country, and as an immigrant (like many other immigrants) Trevor Noah made it big., bigger than Baio who will never be able to become.

[@selfmadetrillin2581]

Q: What is Donald Trumps biggest dilemma now that he's president? A: Finding a cabinet position for the thing on his head

[@selfmadetrillin2581]

At least you are making an effort at humor. That's more than I can say about Trevor Noah.

[@icedmochas9376]

She's been peddling this bullshit for the past year now. All she needs is a broom to complete her witch like resemblance.

[@jondunmore4268]

Don't be mean. Kellyanne has only recently had the post-operative surgery to remove his penis. As a transgender, his hormones have made it hard for him to stay focused on issues, and he only looks that haggard because with such a busy schedule, he has missed some of his estrogen injections.

[@GreatFlamingEyebrows_]

This is literally just double think. Conway just gets her ideas from 1984

[@lnsflare1]

MrSplendid I'm being generous and assuming that being the person responsible for making Donald Trump's actions and statements seem to jive with reality in any way whatsoever has driven her irrevocably insane.

[@justiceblackwolf369]

MrSplendid if you say two totally opposite things... you can never be wrong lol (reps logic)

[@maximeteppe7627]

Oh my (invisible pink unicorn)...You're right!

[@OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

Imagine how deep this thinking really is. It's the old fact that everything in the world has two sides to it the same time, yin and yang, day and night, good yet bad, moral yet immoral. It's Philosophy. I think even Conway doesn't realize how much a philosopher she really is with her comments.

[@justiceblackwolf369]

[@necronlordoflawtan]

Americans have no say in impeachment other than petitioning congress to do so.

[@staceynoffke]

I wish everyone would stop saying Flynn wad fired. He resigned. The person who pointed Flynn out was fired. That's even worse!

[@novailablename]

Stacey Noffke huh????? Resigning from the WH is basically getting fired. It's just playing around with technical terms. He was forced to resign, in other words, he was fired. Resigning just sounds better because it creates the illusion that the person in question is taking some form of responsibility for his screw ups. It's all about damage control. lol you're really grasping at straws. There's no way Trump supporters can defend Flynn's ass so now you're claiming using the term 'fired' is worse than someone who put American security at risk???? wow. just wow

[@staceynoffke]

No, that is not what I was trying to say. I was trying to say that it's ridiculous that the Sally Yates was fired but Flynn was allowed to resign. You need to calm down or you'll just push Trump supporters even further away.

[@staceynoffke]

Basically Yates was fired and Flynn was given an easy out by being allowed to resign (which is NOT the same as being fired) when he should have been thrown in prison. What I wrote is grammatically correct. You just read it wrong. You should make sure you understand what is being said before spouting off and pushing away people that are on the same side.

[@novailablename]

Well, yeah I misread your 'person who pointed Flynn out was fired' as 'The person who said Flynn was fired was even worse'. Super confusing but yupp sorry lol

[@staceynoffke]

Hugs! Sorry I got testy... I've been heavily insulted by a Trump supporter on another video so my fuse is kind of short.

[@alexnore1528]

Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct. People learning doublethink and newspeak due to peer pressure and a desire to "fit in", or gain status within the Party - to be seen as a loyal Party Member. For someone to even recognize - let alone mention - any contradiction within the context of the Party line was akin to blasphemy, and could subject that someone to disciplinary action and to the instant social disapproval of fellow Party Members. This is freaking me out, this is straight out of 1984 holy shit. We need to stop this before it's too late.

[@ladyrough96]

guess what: that was funny now what: I'll watch it again

[@trishahernz7809]

oh please, the way they're so indignant with Obama's policies is well known here. Apparently the lofty moral ground they claim means nothing if that person is Republican. If this is Clinton, you bet your ass they won't be guess what now what?

[@Azenithf]

Conway is looking rough, I sort of feel bad for her. She's put herself in a very difficult position of having to dodge constant bullshit - I think more bullshit than she's ever anticipated and the shit is just piling up lol. There will be nothing left of her in the next few months. That mascara is tragic and won't hide anything lol

[@denizerkan9386]

Although Convay lies every single day of her life, I think that what she said about being both ways is probably accurate. During a press conference with Israel Trump said Flynn was treated badly by the media- in a defending way. Which means that Pence caused the resignation not Trump.

[@GiratinaofFury]

This reminds me of a time back around 2010/2011, in the UK, when the Secretary of Defence resigned from his post, after he was found out to have brought a very close friend, who wasn't security vetted, into confidential arms talks, bringing lobbying within Parliament to a head. Everyone tried to weasel their way out of blame; the Prime Minister, who said lobbying was the next big scandal, refused to answer why he didn't scrutinise his own party enough for the same things they criticised the opposition for, everyone tried to put some distance between them and their exposed counterpart, and one minister pulled a Conway, in that they publicly made a statement in an interview that made no sense, by denying that the accused minister didn't resign because he did something wrong, rather resigned for doing something right - which makes no sense, because why would a minister resign his position if he hadn't done anything wrong? This is pretty much the same, right down to insidious meetings.

[@heyheytaytay]

True story: the closer Kellyanne Conway is to Trump the older she looks. It's why she'll look amazing once she's resigned.

[@williamblevin8732]

Good day, Place the cake on the free side of the fence, after you get permission from Mexico. Have Freedom piped on the sides. Thank you for your time.

[@EspacX]

The media should start measuring the Conway by her own words, holding her accountable for exactly what she says, keeping her on subject and pushing a single point until there's a proper answer. No matter if it's impolite, no matter if she ends the conversation right there: that's the only way to get through to someone like that.

[@d.w.stratton4078]

Ah, that subtle reiteration of "guess what?...now what?" at around 4:18 with the cake. I love this

[@M8E8L]

Can we petition to have the entirety of Congress and the White House Cabinet be forced to take piss tests? You know like the way they do with the military and now apparently people seeking federal aid? Because what should make them exempt from the policies they pass?
